A stability indicating method was developed for the estimation of Crizotinib in pharmaceutical dosage form by using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC). The separation was done on isocratic mode with Hibra C18 (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 2 µ) column and 0.1% Ortho-phosphoric acid and acetonitrile (45:55% v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min and at room temperature. The detection was done at a wavelength of 327 nm. A good linearity was observed in the concentration range of 37.5 µg/mL – 225 µg/mL, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines. The developed method was found to be accurate and precise, with % recovery 99.9% – 100.18% and % relative standard deviation 1.1. The drug was found to be stable at forced degradation conditions and the net degradation was found to be within the limits. The developed method can be used for the quality control of Crizotinib in pharmaceutical dosage...

To establish authenticity and integrity for usage of herbal drugs quantitative analysis by sensitive analytical instrument is highly desirable. Quercetin and Kaempferol from whole plant of Moringa oleifera was chosen for simultaneous quantification by RP-HPLC and HPTLC method due to their pharmacological activities. HPTLC method of quercetin and kaempferol was developed on HPTLC plates using Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Chloroform: Formic acid (6:2:5:1.5) as mobile phase. Densitometric evaluation of flavonoids was performed at λ = 240 nm in absorbance mode. Furthermore, RP-HPLC method was developed using mobile phase containing acetonitrile and 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5 adjusted by orthophosphoric acid) using C18 column in gradient mode. Chromatographic methods were validated as per ICH guidelines. Excellent linear relationships over the concentration range (1 – 40 µg/ml) were observed with the r2 value higher than 0.999 for both the phyto-constituents by RP-HPLC. Limit of detection and quantification were found to be in range of 0.2 – 0.5 µg/ml with percent recovery of 98 – 101%; while r2 value of quercetin and...

Buckwheat has been a major food source in Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Bhutan etc. for its nutritional values. It has been a major functional food supplement for nutraceutical industry. It is the first time exploration of buckwheat seed powder as tablet binder. The aim the study was to expand the area off tablet binders from gums and extracted polysaccharides to whole seed powders so as to reduce processing cost involved with other synthetic binders and involvement of whole seed benefits to single dosage form. In the present study buckwheat seed powder was used in the concentrations of 1%, 2%, 4%, 6% and it was compared with binding capacity of 2.5% acacia in tablet formulation as direct compressible agent. Valsartan was used as a model drug. It was found out that 2% w/w concentration of Buckwheat seed powder performed well and all the parameters were in good range. It was concluded that buckwheat seed powder can be a good direct compressible agent for tablet...

Metals are able to form a large number of oxides. These metal oxides play an important role in many areas of chemistry, physics and material science. An important metal oxide known as magnesium oxide (MgO) having good reactivity is widely used in producing electronics, catalyst, ceramics, oil, paint etc. Magnesium oxide nanoparticle is non-toxic and need a small amount, so it is suitable for the development of flame-retardant fiber additives. In addition, nano magnesium oxide added in fuel can inhibit corrosion. Spherical shaped Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by sol-gel technique at room temperature using magnesium nitrate and sodium hydroxide as a precursor. The morphological investigation of MgO nanoparticles was done by various analytical techniques. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) indicates the crystallinity and crystal size of MgO nanoparticle. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tells about the particle size and morphology. Fourier transform infrared microscopy was used to get the infrared spectrum of the sample indicating powdered composition of the sample. UV-Visible spectroscopy was used to know the optical properties of...

Objective: To determine the immunomodulatory activity of leaves of Rumex vesicarius Linn. and Symplocos racemosa Roxb. Methods: The ethyl acetate and ethanolic extract of Rumex Vesicarius Linn. and ethanolic and N-hexane extract of Symplocos racemosa Roxb. were administered orally at the dosage level of 200 mg/kg/day and 400 mg/kg/day each according to the body weight of Rat. The assessments of immunomodulatory activity were carried out by using Carbon Clearance Test and Delayed Type Hypersensitivity Test. Result: Oral administration of all the extract of Rumex vesicarius Linn. and Symplocos racemosa Roxb. significantly (P < 0.0001) showed an increase in phagocytic activity and DTH response in Rat at an experimental dose. The study also comprises the acute toxicity study and preliminary phytochemical screening. Conclusion: The study demonstrate that all the extract of Rumex vesicarius Linn. and Symplocos racemosa Roxb. shows the significant immunomodulatory effect on both humoral as well as cell-mediated...
